Some Oakland city councilmembers are calling calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature to eliminate Oakland Unified’s outstanding state debt to prevent closures.
Specifically, Oakland Vice Mayor Rebecca Kaplan, Council President Nikki Bas, Councilmember Carroll Fife and President Pro Tempore Sheng Thao are introducing a resolution to aid Oakland schools.
With California anticipating a $45.7 billion surplus for the 2022-23 fiscal year, the city leaders said in a joint news release that eliminating OUSD’s remaining state debt would require "an infinitesimal amount, less than one fifteenth of a percent, of the state’s operating surplus." The district presented the numbers saying up to $15 million could be saved every year by closing school buildings. The superintendent says that money could be used to reinvest in teachers and services and break a cycle of overspending.To compare, Fremont Unified has 42 schools serving 34,000 students. San Jose Unified has 41 schools that serve 30,000 students. Stockton has 48 schools serving 35,000 students.
